Selling Your NOVA Home with Confidence

Start with decluttering and deep cleaning as buyers need to envision themselves in your space. I'll conduct a pre-listing walkthrough to identify high-impact improvements versus unnecessary expenses. Often strategic updates like fresh paint, improved lighting, and enhanced curb appeal deliver the strongest return without major renovation costs.

Spring typically brings the most buyers, but Northern Virginia's strong market means quality homes sell year-round. Fall can be strategic with less competition, and serious winter buyers are often highly motivated. I'll analyze current market conditions and your specific situation to recommend the optimal timing for your home.

Your home gets comprehensive exposure through professional photography, targeted digital advertising, MLS distribution, and my extensive network of agents and buyers. I create custom marketing materials highlighting your home's unique features and leverage social media and email campaigns to reach qualified buyers actively searching in your price range.

I conduct a detailed comparative market analysis examining recent sales of similar homes, current competition, and market trends specific to your neighborhood. Pricing strategically is crucial: too high and you risk sitting on the market, too low and you leave money on the table. My goal is positioning your home to generate competitive offers while maximizing your return.

Typical seller costs include real estate commission (usually 5-6% split between both agents), title insurance, transfer taxes, and any negotiated closing cost credits to buyers. You may also have pre-sale repair or staging expenses. I'll provide a detailed net proceeds estimate upfront so you know exactly what to expect at closing.

Start with a professional valuation and walkthrough to determine needed updates. Focus on decluttering, deep cleaning, and small cosmetic fixes for the best ROI. Market data and staging guidance can help your home stand out.
